My LFS just go some cocatoo cichlids in and they are very interesting. I was told that they are not aggressive and can go in a community tank. One of my tank is a 29 gallon community with the following fish.

8- Glowlight tetras
1- Crimson Dwarf Gourami
4- Pepper cories

Would a couple of cocatoos work with this set up.

They're cool fish and do fine in a community. They are considered soft water and low ph Cichlids but I kept mine in 7.6 ph and they did fine.

They like caves. I used little flower pots laid on thier side.
Have fun, Mike
